Together

"Together" Oil on Linen 162x72 cm / 50x28 in.

The Banksia is such an iconic Australian flower. It has spiked leaves and the flowers are compact with each individual stamen rubbing shoulders with its neighbour in a seemingly chaotic commitment to being what it was made to be. Even the spent flower is filled with the promise of propagation and new life.

Chaos can lead to distrust, anger and pain - but let us take a lesson from the Banksia and pull together with one intent of respect and care for each other - Aussies "Together".
